The Scopia Effect

I was not sure what to expect from this film but I was pleasantly surprised. The cinematography is stunning. The timeline is all mixed up and confusing but I like that stuff.

If you like Mulholland Drive and films like Memento and Donnie Darko, this will be your cuppa tea. Not a cheap horror. Has a real Kubrick feel to it as well as other clear influences from the classics.

A challenging watch but well worth it at the end. Kept me thinking for days after.

If you are looking for something refreshing and different then this is a hidden gem.

I didn't know what to expect from this film. And to be honest half way through i thought the same, but in a good way. Shot beautifully, a mysterious plot, the right amount of 'horror' elements to not distract from the film's arty purpose.

It's quite hard for me to put this film into a particular genre, show's originality.

Acting is commendable, some haunting and frigging weird performances that compliment some of the abstractness in the film.

This isn't a Hollywood blockbuster by any means, but the cinematography is fantastic. Bright but haunting.

Worth a second watch.

OK, this is my first review and watching his movie compelled me to make an account and write a review in order to remind and aware others to not to waste your 1 hour 45 minutes on this totally insane and psychopathic movie.

The first and most irritating thing throughout the movie is the way it is directed. The camera focuses on peripheral environment rather than the characters and it drives you insane too. I think the director wanted to make his audience feel the insanity the protagonist was going through but this has completely ruined and spoiled the movie.

Next, the story line itself is shown in a very complex manner which further adds to your insanity. Multiple lives in one past life makes it very difficult to contain. The acting is above average.

All in all, avoid this movie.

I can't understand why this movie gets such a low rating...

If you for example liked "I ORIGINS" it's possible you might like this one too. Though they might be quite different, these two movies contain a similar deeper message.

I'm glad I ignored the low rating here on IMDb and watched it anyway.

I especially liked the ending and the message that was given there. I don't agree with the comments against this movie,

Maybe not for people who like typical Hollywood blockbusters... oh well.

Give it a try you might be surprised

It is not a total disaster, I mean the movie has a crazy plot and it goes slowly. I was expecting (from some very optimistic reviewer here) something really original, scary and unpredictable.

It turned out to be original, but that's all for what its worth it. The acting is average at best. Around 3/4 of the movie I began to figure it out, and the result wasn't as unpredictable as I was expecting. There are some violence parts, but really nothing to be scared of. So I could not rate this movie as horror; probably an insane thriller is where it belongs to.

It is a shame because the idea probably with a better plot and direction could be a good thing, but it is not.

I stress you not to waste your time and look something else. I gave it a 3/10 because it could have been worse.
